You really expect me to spend time trying to understand your workflow and spend time adopting my software to better suit your needs with an opening like that?

No, I would be far far less productive in Xcode *including* the project aspects.

TextMate consists of some 30+ frameworks each with their own unit tests — by creative use of .tm_properites I have ⌘B always run the proper make goal, including temporarily changing a certain framework to only have its unit tests run or a special “GUI” test if I’m developing a component that can be tested “outside” TextMate.

I also have adopted a few actions depending on where I am in which project/file, all via the use of the folder specific .tm_properties.

I often just skim people’s feedback because there is far too much to read, so a word of advice is to avoid superfluous text like calling things ‘silly’ and go on for lines and lines about the same thing…

Maybe hold judgement till you have learned more about what these allow.

In the future, please be more constructive, less judgmental, and avoid the insults.
